Almost Self-Reliant
I asked this over on TEG but figured I'd ask it here too
Looking for a mechanical electrical timer, like the one Orbit makes for hoses. Anyone know of one?
I have a 550 gal water tank that feeds my 10 rows of potted trees via a large pump. I usually turn on a row or two for 20 min or so, but sometimes you can get distracted and forget
. I really don't want to forget too long and run my tank out of water and thus burn my motor out as that would be a $700 mistake, so I'd like to be able to set a timer for 20 min there and know that it'll shut off after that and then I can come back at a later time to put on another row for another 20 min.
I will eventually be putting a timer system in, but would like something to be there until then
Thanks!
